PART - II [New Testament]

LUKE 8:26 Then they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is
opposite
Galilee. 27 And as he stepped out on land, there met him a man from the
city who had
demons; for a long time he had worn no clothes, and he lived not in a
house but among the
tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and
said with a loud
voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I
beseech you,
do not torment me." 29 For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come
out of the man.
(For many a time it had seized him; he was kept under guard, and bound
with chains and
fetters, but he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the
desert.) 30 Jesus
then asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion"; for many
demons had
entered him. 31 And they begged him not to command them to depart into
the abyss. 32
Now a large herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside; and they
begged him to let
them enter these. So he gave them leave. 33 Then the demons came out of
the man and
entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake
and were
drowned. 34 When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled, and
told it in the
city and in the country. 35 Then people went out to see what had
happened, and they
came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting
at the feet of
Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 And those
who had seen it
told them how he who had been possessed with demons was healed. 37 Then
all the
people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked him to depart
from them; for
they were seized with great fear; so he got into the boat and returned.
38 The man from
whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him; but he sent
him away,
saying, 39 "Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for
you." And he
went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done
for him.

MATTHEW 9:32 As they were going away, behold, a dumb demoniac was brought
to him.
33 And when the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the
crowds
marveled, saying, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel." 34 But
the Pharisees said,
"He casts out demons by the prince of demons."

MATTHEW 12: 22 Then a blind and dumb demoniac was brought to him, and he
healed him,
so that the dumb man spoke and saw. 23 And all the people were amazed,
and said, "Can
this be the Son of David?" 24 But when the Pharisees heard it they said,
"It is only by
Be-elzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons." 25
Knowing their
thoughts, he said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid
waste, and no city
or house divided against itself will stand; 26 and if Satan casts out
Satan, he is divided
against himself; how then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out
demons by
Be-elzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be
your judges. 28
But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the
kingdom of God has come
upon you. 29 Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his
goods, unless he
first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house. 30 He
who is not with
me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. 31
Therefore I tell you,
every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against
the Spirit will not
be forgiven. (Picture) 32 And whoever says a word against the Son of man
will be
forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be
forgiven, either in this age
or in the age to come.

Let us pray...

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the day of battle, be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the Power of God, thrust into Hell satan and all the evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
